El Confía Base Oviedo suffered a narrow 29-30 defeat against Quieres Eventos Cisne in their opening match of the División de Honor Plata season at Polideportivo de Vallobín, according to match reports. Pablo Galech’s side let slip a five-goal lead in front of roughly 500 spectators, ultimately falling short after a tense second half.
Early Momentum Slips Away in Vallobín
The encounter began positively for the hosts. According to Killer Asturias, Oviedo established an early 3-0 lead fueled by two goals from Javi Sanz and an opening strike from Mikel Galán. That surge forced Cisne coach Marcos Otero to call a timeout in the 18th minute with the score standing at 12-7 in favor of the Asturian team.
The visiting side regrouped following the stoppage. Cisne chipped away at the deficit, prompting Galech to stop the clock in the 26th minute while his team held a narrow 14-12 advantage. The tactical pause failed to halt the visitors’ momentum, and the Galician team leveled the score at 14-14 before the half-time whistle.
Disciplinary Trouble Cripples the Defense
The second period brought sustained pressure and persistent disciplinary trouble for the hosts. Killer Asturias reported that Oviedo spent nearly 20 minutes of the second half playing with at least one player excluded. Cisne capitalized on the numerical advantages to establish a consistent three-goal cushion.
Disciplinary issues culminated in the 50th minute when Oviedo’s Mikel Galán received a red card following three two-minute exclusions. Despite the man-power struggles, Galech’s squad mounted a late charge to narrow the gap to a single goal in the dying moments.
Controversial Calls and Late Drama
Controversy marked the closing stages of the match. A foot fault whistled against Javi Colías halted what the home crowd viewed as a promising counterattack that could have produced an equalizer. Goalkeeper Juan Gamallo then delivered a crucial stop with eight seconds remaining to grant Oviedo one final opportunity to tie the game, though protests from Emi Franceschetti over a potential disruption went unheeded as the clock expired.
Scoring Leaders Set the Pace
Alberto Delgado led the scoring for Quieres Eventos Cisne with 10 goals. Tomás Moreira added four, while Juan Reynaldo contributed four more to seal the victory for the visitors under the supervision of referees Raúl López Burgueño and Álvaro García San José.
For the hosts, Mikel Galán paced the offense with eight goals before his red card. Raúl Blanco chipped in five, Jayro Pérez added four, and Hélio Pina scored three in a valiant effort that ultimately left the team empty-handed on opening night.
